COOKING MODES

Bake

Asado Roast

The Asado Roast mode uses staged cooking

to allow larger items like whole chickens

or pork roasts to develop a crispy crust

while slowly cooking the interior. The

Even-Heat™ system distributes power to

the top and bottom heating elements to

maintain the desired oven temperature. The

convection fan will operate in the rst stage

to assist with crisping the roast exterior, and

will then turn off to prevent over-drying.

Temperature & time information

In Asado Roast mode, the time and

temperature is set in 2 stages.

Stage 1 (Crisping) During Stage 1, the

outer layer of your roast will crisp as the

interior begins to warm. The convection

fan will default to ON to assist with crisping

the roast exterior, but may be turned off, if

desired. Smaller cuts of meat may require

less crisping than larger roasts; please

consult your recipe.

Stage 2 (Roasting) Temperature is reduced

in Stage 2 to allow heat to slowly and

evenly reach the center of your food until

it arrives at the desired finish temperature.

The convection fan will turn OFF to prevent

overdrying the outside.

COOKING MODES

In Bake mode, the Even-Heat™ system

distributes power to the top and bottom

heating elements to maintain the desired

oven temperature. The top center element

will be off.

Bake mode tip

• Food may nish cooking up to 30% faster

when using Convection mode. Check

baked goods such as cakes, mufns, and

pastries before the expected nish time

to avoid over-cooking.

NOTE: For temperature and time settings

and options in Bake mode, see the “Cooking

modes” chart.

NOTE: For temperature and time settings

and options in Asado Roast mode, see the

“Cooking modes” chart.

What is Even-Heat™ technology?

KitchenAid’s Even-Heat™ system helps

provide consistent cooking results, without

cold spots or overcooking. By cycling

different heating elements on and off, and

using certain elements for only part of the

cooking cycle, Even-Heat™ allows tender,

juicy roasts or pizzas with deliciously

browned cheese—automatically.

COOKING MODES

Broil

Broiling uses direct radiant heat to cook

food from above. The Even-Heat™ system

will distribute power to all three top heating

elements to deliver two levels of efficient

broiling. The bottom elements will not

be on.

Convection mode can be used with thin cuts

of fish, eliminating the need for flipping.

Broil mode tips

• For best results, use the 12" (30 cm)

multipurpose pan and rack. It is designed

to drain juices and help avoid spatter

and smoke.

• For proper draining, do not cover the

rack with foil. Instead, the bottom of

the multipurpose pan may be lined with

aluminum foil for easier cleaning.

• Foods cooked under the broiler will burn

very quickly if not monitored near the end

of their cooking times.

Keep Warm

In Keep Warm mode, the Even-Heat™

system distributes power to the top

and bottom elements to keep food

warm before serving.

Keep Warm Tips

• The preset temperature is 170°F, but you

may wish to adjust this depending on the

item being warmed.

IMPORTANT: Food must be at serving

temperature before it is placed in the

oven to keep warm.

• Pull oven rack out before turning

or removing food. Use tongs to turn

food to avoid the loss of juices. Very

thin cuts of sh, poultry, or meat may

not need to be turned.

• After broiling, remove the pan and food

from the oven. Drippings will bake on

the pan if left in the heated oven, making

cleaning more difcult.

COOKING MODES

NOTE: For temperature and time settings

and options in Broil mode, see the “Cooking

modes” chart.

NOTE: For temperature and time settings

and options in Keep Warm mode, see the

“Cooking modes” chart.

Reheat

The Even-Heat™ system distributes power

to the top and bottom elements to bring

food to serving temperature. (The top

center element is off.)

Reheat mode tips

• The preset suggested temperature is

300°F, but you may need to adjust this

depending on the item being reheated.

• Reheating too long may over-cook or dry

out food.

NOTE: For temperature and time settings

and options in Reheat mode, see the

“Cooking modes” chart.

W10617644A_CTO_ENv4.indd 11 6/26/13 1:28 PM

COOKING MODES

Cookie

In Cookie mode, the Even-Heat™ system

distributes power to the top and bottom

heating elements to maintain the desired

oven temperature. The top center element

will be off.

When using Convection in Cookie mode,

EasyConvect™ Conversion automatically

reduces oven temperature by 25°F (14°C)

to prevent overcooking.

Convection tips for Cookie mode

• Cookies will cook faster and more

efciently in Convection Mode because

their surface area is relatively small.

• Keep heat loss to a minimum by opening

the oven door only when necessary.

NOTE: For temperature and time settings

and options in Cookie mode, see the

“Cooking modes” chart.

• Cookies may finish cooking up to 30%

faster when using Convection Mode.

Check cookies before the expected finish

time to avoid overcooking.

Pizza

In Pizza mode, the Even-Heat™ system

distributes power to the top and bottom

heating elements to maintain the desired

oven temperature. The top center element

is off until the end of this mode. The last

stage of this mode will nish off the cheese

by browning with high heat.

Frozen Mode

Pizza setting will default to frozen mode. You

may use the Frozen button to provide extra

time for frozen pizzas to cook, or deselect it

when cooking freshly prepared pizzas.

Pizza mode tips

• For frozen pizzas, it is recommended to

follow time and temperature directions

included on the food packaging.

• Thin crust pizzas will cook faster and

more efciently in Convection Mode

because their surface area is relatively

small. Place thin crust pizzas directly on

the oven rack for crispier crust. Please

keep in mind that convection can speed

up cooking time by up to 30%. You

should check pizza often in the nal

minutes to ensure optimal results

with this feature. Once you determine

optimal time, reset your memory setting

to the new desired time.

Cooking stage Browning stage

NOTE: For temperature and time settings

and options in Pizza mode, see the

“Cooking modes” chart.

TOASTING MODES

• Thick crust, self-rising, or deep-dish pizzas

will require longer cooking times. Use

the 12" (30 cm) nonstick pan for fresh or

deep-dish pizzas to maintain shape and

keep sauce contained.

• Pizzas may need to be rotated during

cooking to ensure even results.

COOKING MODES

TOASTING MODES

Toast

In Toast mode, the Even-Heat™ system

distributes power between the top and

bottom heating elements to deliver fast

and even toasting.

Use the Toast mode for bread, toaster

pastries, frozen wafes. If reheating pastries,

use the Reheat function.

Toast mode tips

• Place bread directly on the middle

position. It does not need to be ipped

during the toasting cycle.

• Select the Frozen option to allow frozen

bread or similar items extra time to thaw

while cooking.

Bagel

In Bagel mode, the Even-Heat™ system

distributes power between the top and

bottom heating elements to nicely brown

the top of cut bagels while gently warming

the outside.

Bagel mode tips

• Place bagels directly

on the oven rack

with the cut sides

facing UP. Bagels

do not need to be ipped during the

Bagel cycle.

• Select the Frozen option to allow frozen

bagels extra time to thaw while cooking.

NOTE: For temperature and time settings

and options in Bagel mode, see the “Toast

and bagel modes” chart.

NOTE: For temperature and time settings

and options in Toast mode, see the “Toast

and bagel modes” chart.

Convection option

Convection cooking uses a fan

to circulate air inside the oven

to provide faster, more even

cooking. The Convection option

is available on most cooking modes.

On Reheat and Stage 1 of Asado

Roast, Convection will default to ON

automatically. Convection is NOT available

on Toasting modes.

When using Convection in Cookie mode,

EasyConvect™ Conversion automatically

reduces oven temperature by 25°F (14°C)

to prevent overcooking.

Convection Mode Tips

• Thinner foods will cook faster and more

efciently in Convection Mode because

their surface area is relatively small.

• Food may nish cooking up to 30% faster

when using Convection Mode. Check

baked goods such as cakes, mufns, and

pastries before the expected nish time

to avoid overcooking.

• Don’t cover foods with lids or aluminum

foil so that surface areas remain exposed

to the circulating air, allowing browning

and crisping.

• Use pans with lower sides to promote

better airow.

Frozen option

The Frozen option adds additional

cycle time to the selected cooking

mode to allow for thawing and

proper cooking. The additional time

varies depending on the selected

cooking mode.

Changing between Fahrenheit and Celsius

To change between degrees Fahrenheit and

degrees Celsius, press and hold Convection

and Frozen at the same time for about

important for consistent and even results.

Once you select your desired cooking mode

and any other settings, and press START,

Even-Heat™ Preheat saturates the oven

walls and cooking racks above the oven’s set

temperature to remove cold spots that draw

heat away from food. This also helps the

oven stay at the desired temperature

when the door is opened for short periods

of time.

During preheating, the light ring around

the Start/Cancel button will be on, and

the Preheat indicator will show on the

LCD. Once the oven has reached the set

TIPS FOR GREAT RESULTS

Countertop Oven use tips

Are guesstimates for Toast Mode OK?

Experience will teach you how much time

to use for toasting various kinds of bread.

Frozen, dark, or whole-grain breads require

a longer time. Rye breads are the most

susceptible to over-toasting and spot

charring. Fresh, soft, or white breads

require a shorter time.

For foods that melt

When cooking small pieces of foods

or foods that will melt, use the multipurpose

pan. This will keep food from falling onto the

cooking elements.

To minimize cleanup

Spray the multipurpose pan with nonstick

cooking spray for easier cleanup when

cooking wet or sticky foods. Wash pan

thoroughly after each use to avoid buildup

of cooking spray.

Size limits for food and

cooking containers

For best results, food and/or oven-safe

containers (see “Food Cooking Tips”

section) must t into the Countertop Oven

without touching the cooking elements or

inside walls of the Countertop Oven. The

door must close completely. This allows air

to circulate around the food, helping ensure

consistent cooking temperature.

For extended use

When cooking for a long time at high

temperatures, you may detect a slight

odor from the Countertop Oven insulation

materials. This is normal.

Food cooking tips

• Check food cooking progress through the

clear, tempered glass door window. Your

Countertop Oven wiII perform better and

be more energy efcient if you open the

door less often.

• If top of food item browns too fast, lower

the rack position or reduce temperature.

If bottom of food item browns too fast,

raise rack position or reduce temperature.

Please remember that adding the

convection option could reduce the

needed cooking time by up to 30%.

• Remove all plastic and/or paper wrappers

from foods before cooking.

• Use only loosely covered oven-safe

containers. Airtight containers may cause

food to boil over or splatter.

• Although more energy efcient and faster

than traditional ovens, countertop oven

surfaces can become hot during cooking.

Touch only the door handle and knobs

during oven operation.

• Do not place items on top or near

Countertop Oven while in use. Only use

the included cooling rack to gently cool

food on the top of this oven.

• Replace cardboard, glass, or plastic lids

with aluminum foil for use in the

Countertop Oven.

Choosing bakeware for Countertop Oven use

• The nonstick multipurpose pan included

with the Countertop Oven is suitable

for items such as cookies, rolls, biscuits,

nachos, and pork chops.

• A variety of standard baking dishes, such

as a 9" (23 cm) round or square cake pan,

a 6-cup (1.5 L) mufn pan, small baking

sheets, and 1 and 2 qt (0.95 mL and 1.9 L)

round, square, and rectangular casserole

dishes, may be used. The door must

close completely.

• Choose bakeware made of metal, ovensafe

glass, ceramic, or silicone.

• Use lowest oven rack position when using

deep, oven-safe glass or ceramic containers

and allow at least 1" (2.5 cm) clearance

between the top of the container and the

upper cooking elements.

• Do not use glass lids. If a cover is desired,

use a loosely tted sheet of aluminum foil

shiny side up or down.

• Many convenience foods are packaged in

nonmetallic containers only suitable for

use in microwave ovens. Check package

directions to determine whether the

container is suitable for use in a regular

oven.
